Tour description

Join our Early Access Tour of the Vatican Museums with special early entrance for an exclusive VIP experience. You will enter the Vatican Museums at 8am, an hour ahead of the general public, and you’ll be able to discover the stunning galleries and Sistine Chapel with an enthusiastic private guide, avoiding the crowds.

Our Early Access Tour of the Vatican Museums offers you the fabulous opportunity to tour at your own pace and to visit the Vatican museums before the regular opening time. You will be accompanied for a 3 hour tour by an expert private guide just for you. Your guide is fully licensed and knows everything there is to know about the Vatican, both its history and the extensive works of art housed inside.

You will meet your private guide bright and early at 7:30am to ensure you are among the first ready and raring to enter the Vatican with special early access at 8am. As explanation is not permitted inside the Sistine Chapel, your guide will use this half an hour to introduce you the Sistine Chapel using photos or the iPad to explain Michelangelo’s fantastic masterpiece.

The Vatican is the most visited attraction in Rome and early entrance to the Vatican gives you a chance to beat the main crowds and, in the summer, avoid the heat of the day. First during your early access tour of the Vatican you will visit the highlights of the Vatican galleries with their precious artworks. The Vatican galleries stretch for miles and your private guide will focus on what interests you most, making sure you don’t miss any of the absolute highlights of the Vatican Museums!

Your private guide will then take you to the spectacular Sistine Chapel, where you will be able to admire Michelangelo’s work free from the hoards of tourists you find during the regular opening hours. Stop and take it all in, as you admire Michelangelo’s greatest masterpiece. You won’t be able to believe you’re really there!

This Early Access tour of the Vatican is a truly unique experience, a memory that will last forever. With our private friendly and knowledgeable guide and the special early entrance to the Vatican, this is the ultimate way to tour the Vatican without stress.
